Stretch due to Penile Prosthesis Reservoir Migration
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 43-year old patient presented to the emergency department with stretch, due to impossible deflation of the penile prosthesis, 4 years after successful implant. A CT-scan showed migration of the reservoir to the left rectus abdominis muscle. Refilling of the reservoir was inhibited by muscular compression, causing stretch. Removal and replacement of the reservoir was performed, after which the prosthesis was well-functioning again. Migration of the penile prosthesis reservoir is extremely rare but can cause several complications, such as stretch.

Failure of the inflatable penile prosthesis due to abnormal folding of a low-profile reservoir – A selected case from an overall series and systematic review
We present a case from a running series of inflatable penile prosthesis failure due to improper folding of the Conceal™ reservoir. The Conceal™ Low-Profile reservoir gained popularity due to claims of improved cosmesis and ease of implantation. As the number of patients receiving this and other low-profile reservoirs increases, it is imperative to review and document any novel complications. Wh...
متن کاملAB022. New strategy for inflatable penile prosthesis reservoir placement and removal
Inflatable penile prostheses (IPP) have been utilized reliably as a definitive treatment for medically refractory erectile dysfunction (ED) over the last four decades. The device consists of two intra-corporal penile cylinders, a pump placed in the scrotum, and a fluidcontaining reservoir. However, placement of an IPP reservoir in a patient with multiple lower abdominal/ pelvic surgeries is tec...

Dear editor, Here, we discuss an unusual prosthesis migration to the thigh region. Because the incidence of erectile dysfunction increases in parallel with the prevalence of neurological, degenerative and vascular diseases among elderly men, the use of penile prostheses is common in this age group. Still, cylinder migration following the implantation of a malleable penile prosthesis is a very r...

متن کاملA novel approach for removal of an inflatable penile prosthesis reservoir using laparoscopic instruments
I the setting of an infected inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP), removal of the reservoir is a surgical challenge. We describe a novel technique for IPP reservoir removal at the time of IPP explantation utilizing laparoscopic instruments. We present two cases of infected IPPs requiring complete removal of all components of the implant. The corporal cylinders and scrotal pump were removed via a ...
